Thanks, this is very helpful. Are you trying to upstream the record size
patch?
What I don't get from your patch, it seems like you are hardcoding the
buffer to 16384 bytes during handshake (line 570) and only later use a
1400 byte buffer (via NGX_SSL_BUFSIZE).
Am I misunderstanding the patch/code?
Thanks,
Lukas
